In the beginning of time, the earth was a very difficult place to live, much harsher than it is now. People had to deal with a variety of monstrous beings, and they did not have many gods to protect them. In addition, many powerful demons were defying the immortals of heaven. The Jade Emperor was an immortal who roamed the earth helping as many people as he could. He was saddened because his powers could only ease the suffering of humans. He retreated to a mountain cave to cultivate his Tao. He passed 3,200 trials, each trial lasting about 3 million years.

•

Inspired by this fact, Cranium 2016 presents its theme for this year “The Jade’s Conquest” which stimulates participants to go back in time and experience the journey of the emperor who roamed across the earth to utilize his healing power.

Get your robes ready, wear your hats and be prepared as the universe awaits your kingdom.
